Interviews With Frater Albertus

A. You got me all wrong. Let me ask you a question. What does the word "magic" really mean to you?

Q. It refers to extraordinary feats, things we can't reasonably explain, like miracles.

A. Simply stated, magic is referring to wisdom. A magi is a wise one. Yes, I am connected with that which refers to wisdom, as this is of utmost importance to me.

Q. In the latest issue of "Fate Magazine"* someone wrote about you and said that you have written books about magic. What do you have to say about that?

A. How many times have I stated anybody can write about others as it pleases them. I have written no books on magic as it is commonly understood, and have no intention of doing so.

Q. I have this magazine here with me. May I quote from it?

A. Go ahead.

Q. "In years past Frater Albertus has written several straight magical texts." End of quotation.

A. OK. Now what do you want me to say?

Q. When statements are made as this one given in "Fate Magazine," one would suppose that such are proven or at least well founded.

A. If such are proven and well founded, OK, but if they are just the imagination of those who write them or perhaps even are the outcome of sensational contemplations to arouse readers' interest, I prefer not to get involved.

Q. You've just mentioned imagination. You know that a lot of daydreaming is nothing else but imagination. What about dreams?

A. Yes, indeed. But don't throw all dreams into one category. There are also what are known as prophetic dreams, where one is shown what he did not know before; in fact what may yet have to come about. The imagination ot the individual has nothing to do, with this at all. Here we deal with facts that are predetermined as they already exist in one state of awareness and will again manifest in another person's state of awareness in a futuristic state.

Q. But how can one distinguish between such dreams or imagination?

A. The Jewish Talmud says: "A dream that is not understood is like a letter that has not been opened."

Q. What about the dreams individuals have about their own future?

A. It would not be correct to speak here of dreams because it is usually here where the imagination enters. It is a form of projection into a futuristic state that can but may not be actualized, depending on the events ahead of time.

Q. Then you don't believe in daydreaming or visualizing future individual's ability to bring its realization about?

A. Of course I do. What has been brought about which concerns PRS, Paralab, and Phameres, let us say, had its beginning in what you've called the dream state, where it was shown ahead of time what should come about provided the individual involved will also project his own activities connected with it in a likewise manner. Let me try and explain it this way: What good is a letter if you don't open it. You don't know what it contains. Even after you have opened it and you don't comply with its contents what good was the letter? You may apply this to dreams likewise.

Q. May I ask you something of a perhaps personal nature?

A. Go ahead.

Q. Do you have now or did you have in the past any such dreams that you're following up that have not yet come into being? I mean, that have not as yet materialized like PRS, Paralab and Phameres?

A. Yes, I have had such a dream, as you call it, that has not had its fulfillment as such, not because my imagination is not active; on the contrary, I am very much occupied with it in its various stages.

Q. Would you mind if I were to ask you what this is?

A. Actually it is no secret because to a small group of PRS students it was already revealed in 1972 in Europe.

Q. Well, what was it?

A. It concerns the combination of the activities of PRS, Paralab and Phameres as one unit.

Q. As one unit? How's that? How can they be one unit?

A. This, too, will have to be a dream come true, because it is the fulfillment or completion of each segment merged into a harmonious one. However, each will have to function as a complete entity before such a merger becomes possible. When this has been established, it will then be made known, not only here but in several locations in various countries all over the world - and made available to all concerned. Such "places" will be found to play an important part in the Eves of those who are in search of the miraculous, as it has been rightfully so named.

Q. Would you please be a little bit more specific?

A. Are you asking me to go into details right now?

Q. Yes, if you will please.

A. Well, I am a little reluctant to do just that. However, let me put it this way so that you can get at least a general idea and some of the various things connected with it that are of primary importance.
